Caring for You During Your Stay

At MetroWest Medical Center, your care may be aided by a hospitalist, a doctor familiar with every aspect of inpatient medical care.

When you are admitted to a medical unit of the hospital, a team of MetroWest Medical Center hospitalists will immediately assume responsibility for managing your care for the length of your hospital stay. We make sure that a hospitalist is always
present at the hospital, so they can see you as frequently as your medical condition requires and can quickly recognize and respond to changes in your condition.

Hospitalists work closely with nurses, specialists and other staff to coordinate your care, order tests, analyze results and ensure you get the treatment you need. During and after your stay, MetroWest hospitalists work with your primary care doctor to
keep him or her informed about your condition, coordinate care and arrange for necessary follow-up care.

Provide prompt admission and treatment
